You can swear on anything, does not make it any more true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All you do is defend very anecdotal evidence. Surely you can see this is not logically compelling.



He is replying to YOUR anecdotal experience though.


Well, I don't generalize it and claim it as a truth. That's why I had a heated exchange here.

Appreciate the perspective however. It's helpful.


In case you're ESL, you're downvoted because in this context "I swear" means "here comes some anecdotal evidence" and not "I promise this is true."


English is not my mother tongue and while I speak and write it quite well, such nuances escape me.

Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it. <3
